Oxford Essential Arabic Dictionary: English-Arabic/Arabic-English

Bought to help a learner of Arabic who finds it goes very well with their online course. Easy to use and very reasonable price.

Great product

Excellent small dictionary. Ideal for a beginner (like me). Very good value for money. Includes useful grammar sections.

Gives English-Arabic and Arabic-English. Good for an Arabic learner like me in that it makes perfectly clear such differences as first in time, first in a race, first in a series etc, and explains the 2 categories of Arabic verbs, ground form and derived etc. Published 2010. Don't presume to know how good it would be for an Arabic speaker learning English.

Really handy decent size not too big. I really like that it has an English to Arabic & Arabic to English translation. I’m using it to learn Arabic for my class and so far it’s quite helpful. Feel free to look through the images I attached :)

Excellent dictionary. A must for every student

Pros: easy to use for english speakers new to arabic, easy to read fonts, small and easy to carry around. More than sufficient for a new learner. Con: due to small nature it doesn’t have the wide range of vocabulary that more advanced speakers would require

it has no transliterations, something I have subsequently brought up with the author/compiler directly but to be fair I knew this in advance of my purchase as I had read several of the reviews which mentioned this. As a beginner/learner I would have found this helpful/useful but appreciate why Dr Jabari deliberately, as a purist, did not choose to compile his dictionary this way. Am very very happy to have this dictionary and recommend it absolutely.

Compact and clear dictionary. It's good quality and nice to have on hand for when you need it.

I teach Arabic and bring this dictionary in class for my students to use. It is a pocket dictionary, so do not expect hundreds of thousands of words. It has quite a lot of words, though. Enough for the most part. I think the font size is fine. Maybe not for first-semester students, but for second-year students, it's absolutely fine. The paper is high quality (not thin at all). Great small dictionary in my opinion.

日本の他の辞書と比べて言えば、これは辞書とは言わない。 日本語で言うところの単語帳である。 単語にたいしての文法上の注意などは書かれていない。 しかし、当然だが、単数形と複数形は載ってある。 非常によく使われる単語の欄には例文が少しあったりする。 Comparing with japanese dictionaries, this can't be called a dictionary. It's just a so-called wordbook. It doesn't give any grammatical advise on the words. You can find singular and plural forms of the words. And a few usage examples are shown under the words which may be frequently used.
